Remotely-operable data-taking systems have been installed at Arecibo (2 units), Green Bank Telescope (2 units), and Goldstone (4 units).
A general description of the data-taking system can be found in the following paper:
Instructions for operating the PFS.
Instructions for assembling the hardware (not needed, unless you are installing a PFS system at a new location).
Please contact me for instructions on downloading and installing the software from our CVS repository (not needed, unless you are installing a PFS system at a new location, or the data-taking computer died).
Example data obtained with the PFS are described here.
A 2001 memo describing the design and prototyping of a chirp system for planetary radar is available here.
